It was a very practical, no-frills place to stay.

Lovely staff, great location, good food, will definitely stay again

We came here for two nights while visiting Alton Towers. It was the second time we stayed here, and the cleanliness and comfort were great, as were the staff (who were all lovely!) Only thing we would say is that understandably for the location, the mobile service isn’t great, however there was unfortunately also really temperamental wifi, which kept dropping, making it difficult to look anything up at all. Other than that, everything else was great, and we would recommend to anyone (if they don’t mind some bad wifi and service!)

Wow, what a gem! We had a fabulous experience from start to finish. The service was outstanding, and the atmosphere so warm and friendly. The room was fantastic, and the bed—haven't slept that well in ages! The food was simply to die for, in the best way possible. We originally planned to stop over on our way to the Lakes, but after this visit, we'll definitely be back. Highly recommend! ♥️

Food was excellent, staff were exceptional. Accommodation adequate, nothing that set it apart from any other but with everything you need. We had a dog and please that it was accommodated. A surcharge was applied.

Cleanliness food amazing delicious

The rooms to the rear of the main building were excellent. A great choice at breakfast. Only ate in one evening and well worth it.

Very close to Alton Towers and in a nice surrounding. Free parking and very friendly staff. However, the one of the two bedrooms had a strong damp smell, the toilet was cramped. No air freshner was available either.

Accommodation was clean, spacious and comfortable. The food was excellent. Owner snd staff were friendly and helpful.

Nice place great food handy for Alton Towers

We were walking and arrived late and left early in am… a good place to stop off on our long distance trail!

Lovely bar/restaurant area,friendly staff. Rooms were clean and comfortable.

We came here as I’m sure many do as a base for our Alton Towers adventures. The accommodation is basic but perfectly suited for this. After all we just needed a comfortable place for our family of four (inc. teenagers) to rest, wash and eat breakfast. Service was friendly and efficient. Breakfast was yum and everything was reasonably priced. Thank you!

We stayed there for our Alton Tower trip. The room we stayed was like a motel style which was great for loading/unloading bags. The facility was old but house keeping was very good and members of staffs were very friendly and helpful. 10-15min by car from Alton Tower was great. If we go back to Alton Tower, we will stay here again.

Good position for peaks

We chose the hotel fairly randomly as we had a voucher to use. It is family owned and it is clear that the family and the staff put in a huge amount of effort to make everyone's stay as good as it can possibly be. It is really refreshing to see a hospitality business being run so well and making you feel so welcome after all the problems the industry has faced!

Lovely large self contained chalet with 3 bedrooms. We took our dog with us so was perfect with lovely walks on the doorstep. She was made very welcome in the pub

Such a friendly family owned business in a lovely little spot. Great for couples and families. The food was great from a buffet breakfast or a cooked option to a huge variety of dinner options. The bar is well stocked with a lovely fire place for those cold nights. Rooms a big, clean and nicely decorated. They are set away from the main pub, very quite with a nice playground for the kiddies.

Excellent staff and food was lovely highly recommended.

Perfect for our short break to Alton Towers. Staff were all fabulous and Lee was exceptional with making us feel welcome. Food, wine and staff in the restaurant was also excellent - we couldn’t fault a thing. Highly recommend staying or dining here.

Very clean and room nice and warm. Found the beds uncomfortable and room could do with updating looking a little tired. Hosts very welcoming & friendly.

The accomodation was fine. Reasonably clean and comfortable. The evening meal was nothing to write home about but it was ok. Breakfast was disappointing. Thankfully I noticed that the raspberries were covered in mould before my three year old ate any. The butter tasted sour and off- I couldn't eat it and had to take the butter covered toast from my 8 month old baby who was already munching away. We ordered toast for the table (of 5 people). It took a long time to come and we only got 4 pieces. We didn't want to wait for more so we just shared. The fact that the butter was putrid made us not really fancy anything more anyway. The croissants were stale too. I left feeling nervous that we were all going to end up ill. Thankfully we didn't. It made me wonder about hygine in the kitchen. We would not have eaten there in the evening if I'd already experienced breakfast.

Asked to change date as couldn’t make it due to car problems was broken down with no means of getting there, considering this is a family run hotel and it was my partners 40th birthday you would think as a good will gesture they would of give me a change of date option but they just give me a curfew of getting there for 11pm or don’t bother coming and took my money very poor service.

Lovely place Staff very attentive Room perfect size Restaurant is really good We really enjoyed our stay

Lovely stay, really friendly staff. Cozy bar area will definitely be returning

Great location near Peak District National Park. Very dog friendly. Good pub food, with wide vegetarian selection. Accommodation is in rooms that are a few metres away from the pub. I think quite recently refurbished, they were fine. Liked that the room had a bath, after a long day of walking. Friendly staff.

Very dated food was very bland accommodation was cold would not return

Staff really friendly but rooms are dated amd require updating.

Booked for overnight whilst visiting Alton Towers, so arrived around 9pm. Family room has good layout but first thing that hit us was smell of damp. Not sure how long since bedding had been changed on bunk bed as found a finger nail clipping under the quilt on the sheet. Glasses were dusty, old water in kettle and what looked like blood on bedside table (but think was possibly make up when we wiped it up). Walls stained, bathroom grime and toilet pan dirty. Had it not been after 9pm, would have left room there and then. One redeeming point was continental breakfast was fine and varied, if not a little bit odd.

A fantastic place to stay. Very welcoming and friendly staff. Breakfast options cater for everyone and food is excellent. Rooms are really comfortable and spacious. Was so impressed after our first visit, we have stayed a further two times and recommend to family. You wont be disappointed.

We stayed here as a family of 4 through Tesco clubcard the night before going to Alton Towers. We travelled for about 3 hours and didn't arrive til 9.30pm (we'd phoned ahead to say we were arriving late) and were greeted warmly with everything we needed to know explained to us. The chalets are behind the restaurant, it was a large room with a double bed and a bunk bed, there was a radiator that heated up quick, a decent kettle with tea, coffee, milk and sugar. The bathroom was clean with towels and a nice hot powerful shower. The only downside was we found the pillows really hard and uncomfortable. There is a communal playpark for the chalets which is lovely but unfortunately it had rained so the children didn't use it. The continental breakfast was lovely, it was a buffet with everything you could want on there, the kids loved it, at least 6 different types of cereals, little individual bowls with chopped berries in, toast to order, cookies, shortbread, flapjack, yoghurts, cheese, meats, kids cereal bars, we all had a really good feed! Fresh juices/tea and coffee to order, all included. The staff were really friendly. Would definitely recommend this hotel.

My partner and I stayed here because it was close to Alton Towers, but we loved everything about it and can't wait to return! We got in sort of late at night and worried we wouldn't be able to get dinner, but the staff was super nice and let us put our dinner orders in when we checked in and freshen up before heading to the on-site pub. The grounds are gorgeous and you have views of sprawling hills and cows, and they even have a chicken coop in the garden. (Also lots of play equipment for children and an outdoor beer garden.) Breakfast was also delicious: A buffet of pastries and meats and cheeses and a few hot options for order.
